Message	SCFM being Standard CFM which is defined as one cubic foot of air at 29.92inHg and 60°F. By volume you are correct, but by mass, since the air is compressed and therefore more dense, the engine would ingest the equivalent of 414 SCFM. All flow tests should be corrected back to this standard via PV=nRT, and if not, then the prevailing barometric pressure and air temperature flowing through the test piece should be recorded to allow for a density correction at a later date. Without doing this, we're all just whistling dixie if we simply talk about CFM at any pressure or temp.
